(...) Silly me, I should have checked. Would it be worthwhile to post in admin.suggestions? Apparently this came up 4 years ago and you hinted that it might be an easy fix? (URL) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

Two weeks after that, however, I wrote a brand new search indexer and results engine which runs on the order of 100 times faster, but which doesn't make such filtering so easy. The old way, what it did was found all the (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

(...) Sounds like the solution is to remove .debate from the top level index file, but leave it in the off-topic subtree index files. How hard could that be? Don (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

(...) Well, most of the time you get two choices for news search, just not at the top level. How about giving us two choices at the top level as well? "News" would be everything we get now, minus .debate. "News (Everything)" could be what we get (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

(...) The "sewer"? That seems pejorative. You may no longer like debate but why cast aspersions? I could just as easily argue that I want .bionicle filtered out when searching at the top level as .debate with about as much validity. I think any hard (...)

(...) Why not? The folks in .debate cast aspersions all the time. (...) Maybe so, but bionicle isn't under off-topic, and isn't included in the default skip filters. Try the "animal" search youself.
